| 6.13.2015 First two harvested! The maturity of cream-fleshed Suika watermelon is only 82 days. Watermelon will not continue to ripe after harvest, so it is wise to remember when you planted the seeds. |
 |
| Round shape, butter color flesh with small black seeds. |
 |
| What I love about Suika is the thin rind. Cutting Suika is so easy, it literally cracked open by itself when I gently ran the knife through. It tastes fruity and clean. The brix index of Suika is 8.5, (Crimson is 9.9), which means it is not a super sweet type watermelon. I actually am a big fan of the delicate flavor. It contains less sugar, it won't make you thirsty after eating it. |

| 6.15.2015 Second batch! |
 |
| Almost 9 pounds! With the rind weights around 2 pounds, you do get a lot of edible fruit! I will definitely grow it again next season! |
